A festive hot chocolate could help change a child’s life this Christmas 

For many families, Christmas is a time of warmth, comfort and making memories together. But for some children, the festive season can bring a stark reminder of the trauma they’ve experienced and the challenges they continue to face. 

That’s why PACT is asking people to consider donating the cost of a festive hot chocolate, just £4.50, to help children recover from abuse, rebuild their confidence and look forward to a brighter future. 

One of those children is Henry*. 

Read how Henry found a sense of safety with his mum when they accessed PACT’s Bounce Back for Kids programme.  

Every donation to PACT’s Christmas appeal helps ensure that children affected by abuse and trauma can access the specialist services they need to heal, recover and thrive. 

This year, while enjoying a festive drink with friends, family or colleagues, supporters are being encouraged to share that warmth with a child who needs it most. 

Just £4.50, the cost of a festive hot chocolate, could help a child take their first steps towards a safer, happier future.
